Just came back from KALEIDOSCOPE-The Xinmin Festival of Arts (held @ Victorial Concert Hall). Wonderful performance put up, I must say! Well done =)) The dances were good and the guzheng ensemble was terrific! Especially for their last song," Sai Ma".

A new term, a new beginning.

Ms Tay has changed our sitting arrangement. I'm still trying to adapt to my new environment. I'm sitting near the window now. Great scenery. All the greens. I've got a good partner too :-) Lessons have been fine. Except for PW. Struggling with the product. Hope it'll be over soon.

And there's always a but...

But for Literature on Mon, it was a totally brand 'new' experience. MLTT wore lipstick. And it's red!! =/ I guess she was just making an effort, trying to give us a new look but I guess she should change it into something more pleasant and to something that really suit her personality. No offence.

Forget about Literature. Anw, I'm just so touched by my angel :-) Whoever it is, you are so thoughtful and sweet =)) Thank you for your marvellous chocolates!

Sports day is coming. `RUN THE RACE, KEEP THE FAITH`

An exciting day I must say. Couldn't really count it as a clique outing as Crispituna went 'missing' and another new person came to join us. Met Chen in 'Door' 5 and made our way to PS. No doubt, we were late. But, I guess I can say it's a good thing (indirectly). Managed to check out the price of the present. Really expensive. My pocket's going to suffer =/ But, afterall, it's going to be worth it :D

We watched Dorm. It's not that frightening afterall. There are certain parts where it's scary (maybe because of the sound effects) but no doubt, there are parts where it's funny. Especially the part where Vichien is leading the 'orchestra' (made up of dogs). It's quite touching at the end. The power of friendship is unbelievable =) Good movie.

Had cca practice, from 1400 to 1800. Daji was first. Had fun with the percussion instruments. And most likely, I'll be playing the snare drum. Hope that I can cope well :D And guzheng was next. Shan't really say much, but Lao shi was in a really bad mood and I could see that he was controlling himself when he was conducting the lesson. Hope this will be over soon.

And I got a pleasant surprise from my mother. My whole family is going to catch a movie together. In the beginning, my mom said that she'll be bringing my sisters to watch some movie during the afternoon. I have no idea what made her change her mind. Went to J8 and watched 'Yours, Mine and Ours'. Nice movie :-)

Had lunch with clique before we set off for our last day of commuity service. Had a marvellous time with them. Chatted and laughed =)) As usual, I'm together with Chen, and all of us helped out with the Sorting Room. Had fun doing commuity service together. And Crispituna is always getting excuses to get to Level 3.You should know what I'm referring to. Hahahas :D What a cheeky girl you are =)

Bought the usual thing on the way back. Tried a new flavour and my conclusion is that Strawberry Milk Tea is still the BEST!

School's starting in 2 days time. I can't wait :D

Don't know what came over me. Hahahas~

Yesterday was the first class outing for Year 2006 =) Had it at East Coast.

Didn't really have time to eat a proper breakfast as I woke up 15 mins late, so I grabbed 3 packets of chocolate biscuits and munched on them on the way. And, I missed the 7.15am 113 bus, so I messaged Chen saying that I'll be late. But I ended up missing 6 trains while waiting for Chen and Jin Hwee.

Then, we met Esther @ Boon Keng station. Took bus 31 and then, we walked quite a distance to reach East Coast. Met the rest of the class committee @ McDonalds. And Richa got quite angry cum frustrated when Chen told her that Tessa couldn't make it as she had something on. Then, I volunteered to take over Tessa's job as one of the station master. Only 14 people turned up. I guess most of them are busy with either CCAs or other committments. All the games ended quite on time.

LUNCH TIME :D
All of us headed for McDonald's for our lunch. Had our stomachs filled. Took quite a number of photos with Chen & Elizabeth. Couldn't really count it as a clique photo. Christina couldn't make it for this outing due to her St. John camp.

PLAY TIME :D
The majority rented bicycles and only Grace & Elizabeth roller-bladed. I'm not a good cyclist so I rented a 2 seater together with Sharlene. All of us cycled around East Coast for 2 hour or so and we returned the bicycles.

Then we took a number of group photos =) And we headed for home. Took the same bus with Chen, Jin Hwee, Vivien and Esther, Wen Shuang and Wen Yi. Got sunburn, especially my lower arm area. Not that painful but feeling a little itchy.

Going to upload the photos after I got them from Elizabeth (:

Had SYNAPSE 2006 yesterday =)

It was my very first Synapse and it was great! However, I did not manage to spend a lot of time with my group mates as I was the station i/c for one of the games. Spent the whole of yesterday's afternoon under the scorching sun and the big green field. Thankfully there were Kah En, Wei Kee & Theophilus (my other counterpart) to help with the setting up of my station game =)

Before I started setting up my game, I had asked Jodie and Kimberly for help as there was just too much things for me to carry all alone. And we happily carried the stuffs into the field. Then, we walked down the stairs. I was behind both of them. Suddenly, either Kimberly or Jodie screamed, " SNAKE!" I was like, WHAT?! Then I hurriedly went down the stairs, I didn't really went into the field, I just stood near the stairs, afraid that it really might be a snake. It was quite a distance la. Then, I also thought it was a snake, but looks more like snake skin. Then, Kimberly was like saying, " Snake skin. That means, the snake is getting bigger and snake lives in groups." I was getting freaked out la. Then I hurriedly ran and ask for help cos' I was scared and also how can I set up my game when there's snake living nearby. I ran to ask Wei Kee for help, cos' her station is near mine (Jireh block field). She came with me and checked it out. She was so brave la. She went right into the field and I was feeling worried for her. But guess what?! It turned out to be a long piece of black rubber! All 3 of us went, PHEW~ And Wei Kee was saying, "It's only a piece of rubber la." And all of us started laughing.

Before the games, we had worship and all of us sang. One Way was the only song that was familiar to me. And Yin Li who was leading Worship (together with Joseph, Nic Mao and Christabel) was saying," Worship wouldn't be complete if all of you do not sing." All the songs were unfamiliar to me. But I tried to sing whenever I can =)

We also played some ice breakers. And there was one where all of us need to tie a knot from a tie over our heads and undo it and pass it on to the next person. This continues until the music stops and the person who had the tie had to do a forfeit.

And we also played Mr and Ms Synapse. It's a game where we must choose a guy and a girl from our group and they will represent us in this fashion show. We must dress them up in the most orginal and innovative outfit with the materials given to us. For my group, we dressed our pair in tribal kinda outfit made of garbage bags. Added some colour into it by adding some coloured leaves and dots. Hahahas~ Then it was lunch for Games Comm =) Had the privilege to eat first. And we continued to make our water bombs while the others are having their lunch.

During the afternoon, group after group came to my game (Station 1) And there was one group, I think it's group 5 if I did not remember wrongly. The ACS (Br) leader, Jotham, he's so funny. But he's also quite blur. Theophilus kept on making fun of him la. And when Theophilus wanted to throw a water bomb at him, he screamed like a girl. OMG! And I started laughing, uncontrollably. And Jotham was the emcee,together with Christabel, for yesterdays' night program. He's really cute but quite childish also.

Joseph and Yin Li were walking around. Then, they came to my station. Both of them were carrying water guns. And there was a guy from ACS (Br) who was the first to go for his team, when he went to the pail segment, where he needed to pick out 3 ping pong balls using both his elbows, Joseph started using his water bombs to spray at him continuously. That was bad of him. The ACS (Br) guy was like trying so hard and there was once when he picked out one but it dropped back. Poor thing.

After all the station games, there was Mass Games. Played all the mass games in a relay format. Jelly Hustle was first, followed by Water Frenzy and lastly Flag Game. Had a marvellous time, and I got bombed by Chen. I didn't manage to bomb her back though as I wasn't holding on to any water bombs and I could not find any either.

Then, it was clearing up time. Everyone helped and everything was cleared very quickly. And everybody got changed into their SYNAPSE T-SHIRT~ And of course, we had dinner. Dinner was good. But some of us had to wait for Auntie to finish cooking the second round as there was no more fried rice. Not surprising as all the guys had a mountain full of food on their plates. Nice food =) There was also desert- Almond Jelly. Quite nice la, but I didn't really like the taste of it, so I gave Esther all the almond jelly =)) It was pouring when all of us were having our dinner. And that meant no campfire. Awwww~

But we had a great time in the cool air-conditioned hall and we had our 'campfire'(made from many many lightsticks). It was beautiful, when we first entered the hall. All the lightsticks glowing in the dark =) Had our program and all the items put up by various schools were good and cool. Especially the combined item from ACS (Br) and PL. Each guy paired up with a girl. And there was this part of the song, where it says," Be my Juliet" and the guys knelt down. Hahas~ That was so 'romantic'. Hahahs~

Took group photos and group leaders (Nic and Ian) gave us our gifts. Beautiful :D Did the mass dance a final time, and Synapse 2006 was officially over.

Stayed back for a little while to clear up and Ms Gan talked to us. She loves PTS. And all of us headed for home, but I stayed back a little while and went with Chen to ask the key from Ms Koh. While walking back to the hall, I saw JCWJ again. Chen said bye to him but I just kept quiet. Then Chen said," Oei, why never say bye." I was like smiling. Heheee~ (he's a handsome and cute chap) After that, we left school and then Chen went home first. Waited for Daddy to come and fetch me. Chatted to Sherrie for a little while before Daddy arrived.

It was really a fun but tiring day =)

Results are good. I didn't expect to get that kind of average. I was surprised when I first calculated my overall average. Will continue to strive harder the next term =)

It has been a long long time since I last posted yeah. Well, everything's going quite smoothly I should say. I should be grateful. However, I'm feeling quite worried over academic results. =/ Still waiting for 3 more subjects results to be known. Then I can count my total avg. =)

Just celebrated Great-grandmother's 90th birthday! She's still healthy and strong. But, memory's not that good. It was a get together, together with all my not-so-close relatives. Glad that they are doing fine. Talked to grand-uncle. I remember him as the tall tall uncle. Heehee~ His really tall, taller than me. Chatted about my school and how old am I and those kind of stuffs that you all will chat to with your uncle whenever you all meet. Something happened too. I don't know if I should be glad. (Sister, you should know yeah. Keep it a secret yeah?) Time seems to pass so fast. Like the maglev train. Zoom~

Synapse is coming! I'm feeling excited. My first first every Synapse. I guess it'll be extremely fun with all the games planned and the campfire. Exciting week coming ahead =)

Shall update sometime soon :D
